PPIB Project Management Unit Jobs 2026 – 30 Posts for 100 MW Solar Project in Gilgit-Baltistan

The Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) is hiring a full project team for its solar power programme in Gilgit-Baltistan. Thirty posts are open in the Project Management Unit (PMU) that will run the 100 MWp distributed solar photovoltaic (DPV) project across the region. Engineers, admin and accounts specialists, drivers and support workers can all apply, on Project Pay Scales PPS-1 to PPS-10.

This is a federal government project under the Ministry of Energy (Power Division). Appointments are contract-based for two years at the start, with a chance of extension if the work goes well and the project still needs the post. The place of duty is Gilgit-Baltistan, or any other station the project work requires, and candidates from Gilgit-Baltistan are specially encouraged to apply.

Vacant Posts in the PPIB Project Management Unit

The counts below add up to the advertised total of 30.

Who Can Apply – Eligibility in Brief

The qualification bar is different for every post. Engineering posts need an engineering background, the contracts and admin posts need relevant professional experience, and the support posts are open to candidates with basic schooling. The full post-wise conditions sit in the Terms of Reference (TORs) published with the advertisement, so read the TOR for your own post before you apply.

• Engineering posts: Resident, Assistant Resident and Sub-Engineers (electrical and civil) for site supervision.
• Specialist and admin posts: Contracts Expert, Manager Administration, and Accountant and Cashier, for procurement, office management and accounts.
• Support posts: Drivers, Office Boys, Chowkidars and Helpers for day-to-day office and site work.
• Domicile and channel: No single-province restriction is printed in the advertisement summary, and candidates from Gilgit-Baltistan are encouraged to apply; serving government employees must apply through the proper channel.

Contract Terms, Pay and Place of Duty

All 30 appointments start as two-year contracts. An extension is possible on satisfactory performance and project need, but no appointment can run past the approved life of the project. Pay follows the relevant Project Pay Scale, from PPS-1 for the junior support posts up to PPS-10 for the senior posts. Extra allowances are not part of the package unless the applicable rules permit them.

The duty station is Gilgit-Baltistan, or any other location the project work requires, so some travel between sites should be expected on the engineering posts.

Important Dates

Deadline note: the advertisement gives a 15-day window from publication rather than one fixed date; the listings work this out to about 16 November 2026. Treat 16 November as the safe date, and follow the NJP listing date if it differs.
